And it’s one, two, three strikes you’re out at the old ball game. As expected, the Pitch TV show has been cancelled by FOX. There will be no season two for the female-led MLB drama.
The Pitch TV series stars Kylie Bunbury as the inspirational, young pitcher, Ginny Baker — the first woman to play Major League Baseball. The FOX cast includes Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Ali Larter, Mark Consuelos, Dan Lauria, Mo McRae, Meagan Holder, and Tim Jo.
Pitch Season One: A Look at the Ratings
The first season of Pitch averaged a 0.83 rating in the 18-49 year old viewer demographic and an average total audience of 3.032 million viewers. Compared to the other FOX TV shows we’re tracking, the Pitch cancellation comes as no surprise.
Deadline reports that although the writers were released two weeks ago, the producers were notified of the Pitch TV series cancellation, on Monday.
EP Kevin Falls and star Dan Lauria have since posted to social media about the Pitch TV show cancellation. Check it out.
I'm sorry to tell you that @PITCHonFOX will not be getting a second season. #Pitch

What do you think? Were you a fan of the Pitch TV show? Should it have been cancelled or renewed for season two on FOX? Sound off, in the comments.
OMG!!! I’m very shock and DISAPPOINTED Pitch isn’t getting a second season. I thought it was worth a second season, yet FOX have tv shows that should’ve been OFF air… I’m starting to realize shows that are worth watching get the boot. Now I see why ppl are turning to youtube there’s nothing on TV or cable♀️
Just when I pick a nice series to follow up with and I fall I love with it. They cancel it. Same thing happened to Heroes Reborn. I’m really unhappy about this.
Disappointed by the cancellation ☹️
Pitch was a great show and I’m really sad to see it go. Perhaps another network will have the wisdom to rehire the writers and take a chance. Great storyline, budding subplots, and cast.
OMG!!! I can not believe that Pitch is being cancelled!!!! It is and was a great T.V. show. Fox really should give it another season or MORE!!!!! That was the only good thing on T.V. on Thursday night. Please run more seasons of Pitch.
Omg! As if I didn’t hate FOX already. The always get the best shows and then cancel them! I keep telling myself NOT to watch their new stuff and then I do by accident and then they cancel. I am the FOOL! APB also. And whatever else I haven’t noticed yet. *sigh
Very disappointed this show got cancelled, this show didn’t even have a chance. I hope another channel picks this up because it’s worth it
